Pavement ant

Pavement ants got their name because we often find their nests underneath paving stones or concrete and small mounds of sand form in the cracks. They may occasionally nest in walls, under the foundation, in building insulation and under floors. Other species of ants can nest under paving stones and form small mounds of sand. It is sometimes crucial to have the right identification for an effective result. Although it is not a native species in Quebec, it has adapted very well to our climate.
